The reinforced concrete invariably involves some diseases (e.g., crack, void, etc.) due to the complex service conditions. These diseases are usually repaired to extend the service life of reinforced concrete by using cement grouting materials. In order to meet a certain color need of reinforced concrete, toner is mixed into the cement grouting materials. However, the toner has a negative effect on the early strength of cement grouting materials. Unfortunately, the mechanism of the negative effects of toner is still unclear, and no effective and targeted measures have been put forward. Hence, the main work of this paper reveals the mechanisms of the toner and nano-SiO2 (N-S) in the hydration process and the strength generation of the cement grouting materials in the case of different curing ages and nano-SiO2 contents via the scanning electron microscopy test (SEM), X-ray diffraction test (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry test (DSC), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy test (FTRI). Results show that: (a) the toner hinders the generation of AFt and CH crystals (especially for 1-day and 3-day), which delays the hydration process and weakens the early performance of cement grouting materials; (b) the N-S promotes the hydration process and the formation of C-S-H gels, so as to effectively increasing the early strength and reducing (but not eliminate) the adverse effect of toner on cement grouting materials; (c) With the increase of every 1% N-S, the flexural strength of 1-day, 3-day, and 7-day average increased by 11.3%, 2.9%, and 0.9%, respectively, and the compressive strength of 1-day, 3-day, and 7-day average increased by 0.8%, 0.3%, and 0.1%. |
